West Ham sign Vladimir Coufal from Slavia Prague on three-year deal

West Ham United have signed Slavia Prague right-back Vladimir Coufal for around £5-million on a three-year contract.

“West Ham United is delighted to announce the signing of Czech Republic international right-back Vladimir Coufal,” read a statement on the club’s website.

“Coufal joins the Hammers from reigning Czech First League champions Slavia Prague on a contract until the summer of 2023 for an undisclosed fee, with the option of a further two years.

“Capped eight times by his country, the 28-year-old joins his former Slavia and current national team colleague Tomas Soucek at London Stadium, and is hoping to emulate the midfielder by making an immediate impact in Claret and Blue.”
